Interviewed a backend developer. Guy was at 21 LPA. We offered 28 LPA, roughly a 33 percent hike. He agreed and confirmed joining. Yesterday he emailed saying he got a 32 LPA offer elsewhere and now wants 36 LPA from us. Nonsense. Why agree in the first place. If you are still shopping offers just say it upfront. We stopped interviewing other candidates and waited through the notice period for the joining date. Now two days before joining, he came back with a new price tag.

If you are a student in the West, print this and put it on your desk. A daily reminder of what you will be competing against. “When I was in college in China, if you don’t have a Russian math textbook, you don’t belong to the elite club.” This is not a joke. For decades, Chinese STEM education studied and adopted many elements of the Soviet mathematics tradition — rigorous textbooks, deep problem solving, and a culture that treats mathematics as a serious intellectual discipline. While some Western curricula debate whether formulas should even be memorized, other countries are training students using problem sets and textbooks that built generations of mathematicians and physicists. Competition in STEM is global. And the standards are not getting lower. If you are a student — study math. If you are a parent — make sure your kids do.
